The biggest thing to focus on is pitching. There aren't very many Friday night guys in the portal. I think Nate Dohm is going to compete for a rotation spot along with Gartman and if we get Colby Holcombe he'll be in the mix as well. We need to add at least three arms to the bullpen and one needs to be a closer type and one of the others needs to be LH.
Skenes would be huge pickup. We need arms and that's definitely gonna be the key to next year.
I'm convinced Brock Tapper is gonna help us this year as a freshman. Lefty he's got 3 pitches, fb that's low 90s, a plus breaking ball and a filthy change up and the dude has swag. I believe he's gonna be really good for us and winds up in the rotation before he leaves.

That's the thing about the portal. Most Friday night guys that are legit are not likely to leave where they are IMO unless it's someone at a small school or maybe a PAC 12 school. There just aren't a lot of options out there. Tennessee got very lucky with Dollander- actually had similar stats to Dohm when he transferred to Tennessee. We're probably just as likely to find an ace from our recruiting class like Paul Maholm in 2001 or have Holcombe come in and be the anti-Andrew Walling as we are to get someone from the portal.
